Looking at buying one. Something with about 100,000 miles on it. Seems to be the most reliable truck on the road. What year should I stay away from. I'm looking at 2006 to 2013. Whose got one within those years? How do you like it.

I still drive a 2001 tacoma...210,000 miles on it.....strong as a bear and always dependable

… my 2013 is still going strong at 250,000 plus… u joints is all I’ve ever done to it

…. Got a 2022 and like the 2013 better .. more torque

Dad has a 13 I like it but my 94 I liked better. Sold m the 94 with over 320k on it should have keep it.

Got a 13 ----- 165 k on it changed out batteries and tires ----- had a 96 that I sold when it had 250k and it had nothing major wrong-- IMO there is no bad year of a tacoma

I am on my 8th Tacoma. My current one is a 2003 with 97,000 on it.

What about the years that broke in half because the frames disappeared? I envy your used vehicles in Kansas. My buddy just got a mid 90’s chevy 2500 4*4 with ZERO rust for 850 bucks from Kansas. Yes it runs/drives fine. Those year of Chevy trucks hardly exist here. He’s torn on whether he should drive it till it rusts away or sell it for probably 5-6k.

Just don't get one from an environment where they rust. Just do a google search for Tacoma's that have broke in half because of rusty frames. Not kidding. I have a 2006, it came from Hawaii and made it's way to Denver where I bought it. No problems so far but I have put only about 25,000 on it.

That's still just getting broken-in.

2014 with 230K is still running strong. Tough truck.

I have a 2013 silverado, 88000 miles, frame rusted out . JUNK!

Have a 2004 4cyl 5 speed w 150k. And a 2004 6 cyl auto 102 K both extended cab 4x4’s

Great trucks

If it says 3.0 run don't walk away. The worst engine they have made ever.

I had a 1999, and still have a 2014, both were brand new, the 98 could run circles around the 2014, still have the 14, sold the 99 with 350,000 miles for 4 thousand, still ran like a champion but the seats, AC, radio had quit working, sold it in 15 minutes putting it on line.

Got a 08 TRD Off- Road with a 4.0 about to hit 100K, currently in the process of changing diff & transfer case fluids, then a radiator & transmission flush.

Then new belts & hoses...It's one of them northern trucks with frame rust, but nothing critical yet.

Yearly slathering of used motor oil keeps the frame corrosion in control.

Have a 13 TRD sport 4-door with long box (6ft). Has been a great truck so far, no complaints. Other brand trucks ride better, have more bells and whistles, and even get better gas mileage.....but I doubt they will outlast it I cant speak for the 3rd gen Tacomas, haven't even ridden in one.
